Bridging the Gap Between Data Scientists, Clinicians, and Biologists Using CRDC and its CGC Cloud Resource

About this Class

Register for the April Cancer Genomics Cloud (CGC) webinar to learn more about how NCI’s Cancer Research Data Commons (CRDC) and one of the Cloud Resources are helping researchers with little-to-no-programming skills conduct bioinformatics research. Dr. Daoud Meerzaman, NCI CBIIT’s Computational Genomics and Bioinformatics Branch chief, will present on the work the CRDC and CGC are undertaking to facilitate the collaboration between data scientists and biologists. As one of the three Cloud Resources within the NCI CRDC, the Seven Bridges’ CGC provides researchers access to a wide variety of data sets, a catalog of tools to analyze and visualize the data directly from the browser, and scalable computational resources to perform large scale analysis on the cloud. Presenter: Daoud Meerzaman, Ph.D. Dr. Meerzaman is the Computational Genomics and Bioinformatics Branch (CGBB) chief at CBIIT. Under his supervision, CGBB provides bioinformatics analysis support for life sciences and clinical and translational research for intramural scientists, including both NCI’s Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics and Center for Cancer Research.
